The speakers demonstrated practical ways in which students can effectively use AI to summarise complex concepts, prepare revision notes, generate flashcards, enhance research, and improve learning outcomes through well-crafted prompts. They stressed that AI should serve as a learning companion rather than a substitute for human intelligence and critical thinking.
Participants were also encouraged to verify AI-generated information with teachers and authentic sources, ensuring responsible and ethical use of the technology. The seminar witnessed enthusiastic participation from faculty members and students, reflecting the growing interest in integrating artificial intelligence into higher education.
The interactive sessions enabled participants to gain practical insights into leveraging AI as a tool for innovation, academic excellence, and lifelong learning.
